If you eat a Low Carb High Fat diet, or simply the diet your grandparents used to have, you will certainly be asked the question “but what about all that cholesterol from meat and fat?” and people will inevitably tell you “that diet will fur up your arteries!”

In this podcast, Jon Gaunt talks to Zoë about diet, fat, cholesterol and more. Zoë explains the Myth of Good & Bad Cholesterol more clearly than anyone we’ve ever heard before. You will definitely want to listen to this interview, and share it with family and friends. Especially the section about Statins.
